Large Family Home Private Garden Beach 2 mins Walk
We had a comfortable stay in this beautiful house for two weeks. We loved how close it is to the beach and the sea view from the bedrooms. Very easy to walk around and there is a variety of shops within walking distance. The sofas and beds were comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. Our cat also enjoyed the place and her little walks in the garden. It was generally very quiet, other than the neighbour's dogs clockwork barking sessions at 11pm & 7am. Our only comment was that the house was freezing when we arrived and it took many hours to heat up, causing one of us a nasty headache the next day. It would be nice if the heating was turned on a bit earlier. Once it was warm, it did maintain the heat quite well. Other than that everything was great and would visit again, especially when the weather gets better!

The Holiday
We descended on Niall’s property for a book club weekend, after reading Northanger Abbey and wanting to visit Jane Austen’s house (approx 20min drive away). The house was so remote and peaceful, an expansive garden with beautiful views. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and the living room was perfect for a comfy chat. We did have a few issues which were all speedily resolved by a friendly, proactive host. All in all, a fabulous weekend.

Detached Seaside Bungalow in Quiet Cul De Sac
James was good at communicating, and left clear instructions for everything. He also met us on arrival. The bungalow was as per the description and photos (please note that bed 3-twin room has drawer clothes storage but no hanging space). It's clean, light and airy. The bungalow was in a quiet location and yet close to amenities and a short walk to the beach. We had 3 cars between us and were easily able to fit them on the driveway. We would happily return!" I can't think of anything else that any potential guest would need to know above the information on Airbnb and reviews already left.

Little Willow A Private Holiday Villa, Selsey
We had the most amazing stay at Eileen's property, Eileen was so kind and so accommodating to us and for that we are grateful, Myself and my children had a great time celebrating New Year's eve, so much to do they didn't want to come home! Thank you for all the added extras and for allowing us to make such special memories xx

Beautiful Holiday Home by One of the Best Beaches
Great location, Whitecliff Bay was beautiful. The area was quiet. Lesley was a great host, communication was easy. We hope to return one day for more IOW adventures!

Sea Plum Lodge
The lodge is a charming and well-kept little place tucked away in the back garden. It looks and feels brand new, and everything was spotlessly clean. Having access to the garden was a big plus for the kids, and the location in Ryde is great—on a quiet street but still convenient. The only minor drawback was that the dining table needs to be unfolded for meals, which makes the living area feel quite cramped. Other than that, we had a lovely stay, and Rebecca was very responsive and helpful throughout.

Northlands Farm Superior Chalet 3
We had a lovely one night stay here - we only wish it could have been longer! The kids had a great time with the animals and the grounds were beautiful. Everything was as described and couldn’t have been more perfect for what we needed. Thank you!

The Beach Huts: tranquil home, pool & tennis court
A fabulous place! Helen was a great host, sending a very comprehensive property and surroundings guide. She was very friendly and kept in touch, checking we were settled in ok. The property is great, our children loved being able to walk out the front door and play tennis! The swimming pool was lovely, clean and peaceful. The beds were comfortable and the open plan space was very well laid out. We enjoyed walking to the village milk dispenser for milkshakes and fresh milk. Lots of lovely places to visit only a few minutes away. We are looking forward to returning one day.

Your guide to West Wittering
All About West Wittering
Located on the Manhood Peninsula near the entrance of Chichester Harbour in the English Channel, West Wittering is a small village famous for its immaculate golden-sand beaches and shallow waters, perfect for swimming and sunbathing. The atmosphere is decidedly posh, due to the number of celebrities who call the area home. And it’s easy to see why: West Wittering is a postcard-perfect West Sussex town, sandwiched between the South Downs and the glittering sea, with glimpses of the Isle of Wight.
Nearby, you’ll find Chichester Harbour, a narrow inlet with long tentacles reaching into farmland and mudflats. The harbour provides a scenic backdrop for the tiny villages nestled along the shoreline where you can still find Roman remnants from 2,000 years ago. To its north, Thorney Island is a retreat for some of the country’s nesting bird species and a lovely coastal walking trail connecting to the Sussex Border Path.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in West Wittering
Thanks to Southern England’s relatively mild climate and a plethora of things to do, there is no bad time to secure your West Wittering holiday lets. The summer months generally have the hottest, sunniest weather, which is great if you plan to spend a lot of time at the beach. However, this time can get quite busy, especially during the weekends, due to West Wittering’s proximity to London. The month-long Festival of Chichester takes place during this time, from mid-June to mid-July, and celebrates music and art. Spring and autumn are good times to visit, as the weather is still warm enough to wander along the beach and the crowds have thinned. Winter can get a bit cold, which gives you plenty of time to explore the neighbouring city of Chichester while still admiring the beauty of the coast.
Top things to do in West Wittering
West Wittering Beach
This sweeping stretch of golden sand lined with brightly painted beach huts, grassy sand dunes, and chilly water beckons with its gently caressing waves. The beach is popular for swimming thanks to its shallow water that is safe for all ages. From the beach, you get wonderful views of Chichester Harbour and the South Downs.
Chichester Harbour
This gorgeous harbour and its surroundings are an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and one of the few untouched coastal spots in Southern England. The harbour is extremely popular for boating and sailing, with scores of marinas and boatyards. Within Chichester Harbour, you can find an array of tiny villages, including Bosham, with its slew of Roman ruins, and Dell Quay, home to a medieval church and not much else.
Thorney Island
This wild island is located just off the West Sussex mainland, past a narrow channel known as the Great Deep. The island is teeming with native flora and fauna, including various bird species, such as brent geese, oystercatchers, and skylarks. You’ll also discover a 14-kilometre circular coastal path, which starts the Sussex Border Path, a 240-kilometre hiking trail.
